Since I started working I have always paid by myself. My parents and my brother, who had diabetes, were treated by the medical assistance provided by the government. I have the money to choose and pay. Me wife and daughter, all health care paid by myself. I don't think the government owe me any health care because I pay taxes. My taxes covered all those elderly, kids and mothers hospitals' bills during the last 40 years. Yes my daughter's education has always been paid by me without using the public school system. My taxes covered the schooling of all the youngsters for 40 years. We entered the Demographic Window mid 90s. Since then the majority of the Brazilian population is economically productive and there is less and less kids and less mothers reproducing. It is also a period when the elderly are not a big burden. I am 59, once I stop working, then I will need to be taken care by the medical care provided by government. But by then, the youngsters will be paying taxes so there will be money to cover mine and my wife's health costs. That will go until we will move out of the Demographic Window. Then the population pyramid will be upside down and we will become like Europe Japan and the US.
